re: #88 darthstar

That’s interesting…I was thinking of recipes for cooking inside of a pumpkin…
I’ll look up that custard recipe…might be good for Thanksgiving.

Just for you I fetched the family cookbook…

Baked Whole Pumpkin

1 pumpkin, 5-7 lbs
6 whole eggs (cage free please)
2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 TBS molasses
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp dry ginger
2 TBS butter

Cut the “lid” off the pumpkin and clean out the seeds and stuff. Mix the rest of the stuff together except for the butter. Pour it into the pumpkin and dot the top with the butter. Set it into a baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1-1/2 hours til the mixture is set to custard.

Serve it from the pumpkin, scooping out a bit of pumpkin meat with the custard.
